Flying solo at Stills gallery
TO COINCIDE with the Edinburgh Art Festival, Stills will present a solo exhibition by Ishiuchi Miyako - an influential post-war Japanese photographer whose work has rarely been seen in the UK.
It will be the first time Miyako’s work has been exhibited here.
The show runs from 28 July to 8
October 2022 and includes a selection of work from some of her most celebrated series including Mother’s, the series with which she represented Japan at the Venice Biennale in 2005.
The work was commissioned by the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum in 2007 to capture everyday objects which had once belonged to victims of the atomic bomb in Japan.
Photographs from the series Frida, made at The Frida Kahlo Museum in Mexico City where Miyako photographed Kahlo’s garments such as corsets, cosmetics and shoes will also form part of the exhibition at Stills.
The artist will come to Edinburgh for a rare visit in the late summer.
